You sure about that? I've been using bindgen for ages on stable and just grabbed the latest version on an empty project and it still works for me.

I'm sitting next to bindgen's author in meatspace right now and he says yes, it has been on stable for a long time.

  Ah sorry, was thinking of rustfmt-nightly, not the toolchain.

    No worries! You shouldn't be using rustfmt-nightly at this point either; install the rustfmt-preview component through rustup. It works on stable!

      Does rustfmt-preview work with bindgen though?

        I don’t know what this sentence means.

        Bindgen relies on rustfmt. With the codebase I'm using rustfmt-nightly works, but the stable version segfaults. Known issue but that's why I've stuck with rustfmt-nightly.

        Interesting! I was not aware of that. So, no idea :)

        https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rust-bindgen/issues/1045 https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rust-bindgen/issues/104... So yeah looks like I'm tethered to the nightly toolchain after all. :/

        I happen to be in the same physical location as the maintainers of both. This should be re-opened. I’ll chat with them. But first... I’m also confused. The component is the rustfmt-nightly codebase. You’re still seeing problems with the component?

        I'm using bindgen to generate bindings for radare2. But I'm also using TryFrom, so I'm not likely to move off of the nightly toolchain any time soon. Before I ended up going down the TryFrom rabbit hole I ran into two issues with bindgen: 1.) Bindgen segfaults with the ancient LLVM on OSX 10.9. Issue #1006. Solution: use LLVM >= 5 binaries from the LLVM site. 2.) Stable (deprecated) rustfmt causes bindgen to segfault. Solution: cargo install -f rustfmt-nightly. It could be as simple as "stable rustfmt requires --force to run because it's been deprecated", but more helpful error messages would be a great thing here.
